Drowsiness

 History

A 72-year-old woman develops a chest infection and is treated at home with doxycycline by her general practitioner (GP). She lives alone but one of her daughters, a retired nurse, moves in to look after her. The patient has a long history of rheumatoid arthritis which is still active and for which she has taken 7 mg of prednisolone daily for 9 years. She takes paracetamol occasionally for joint pain. There is no other relevant past or family history. When the GP visited he found the blood pressure to be 138/82 mmHg. For 5 days since 2 days before starting the antibiotics she has been feverish, anorexic and confined to bed. Her daughter has made her drink plenty of fluids. On the fifth day she became drowsy and her daughter had increasing difficulty in rousing her, so she called an ambulance to take her to the emergency department.
